Lee Single Barrel Sour Mash Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 700ML Tasting Notes Lee Single Barrel Bourbon has won Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2013, and countless others over the years. He’s recently passed away, but left behind a legacy worth retelling. Lee had worked at the distillery for over 4 decades and continued selecting the barrels even after retirement. Lee, a WWII veteran and the father of single barrel bottling. Lee Single Barrel Bourbon is named after Buffalo Trace master distiller Elmer T. As far as finishes go, this is damn good. This is sweet, it’s fruity, it has some complexity in the form of aged oak and light nuttiness. Again, almost zero ethanol…but the flavors from this are sticking around nicely. For a 90 proof expression this is impressive.įinish – Low heat. A wisp of warehouse funk…maybe you’d call this leather, I could see it either way. As this works through the palate more I’m getting some cherry and maybe even a craisin note here. I’m reticent to admit the fact that I’m not really a huge fan of apple pie, but don’t pull my American card just yet, because I’ve got a note for you: this is a big old truckload of apple crisp with a bit of almond crumble over top (does that redeem my apple pie treason?). Taste – Medium mouthfeel, essentially zero heat. Vanilla rolling around here and dark fruit with a hint of dark spice. Toasted almonds…dare I say marzipan? Yes, dammit, marzipan. Let’s see what Elmer has in store for us! Well, enough about the horse-topped bottles. Lee review in the Summer of 2020 also reminds us of the upcoming USA debut of Blanton’s Gold. Mashbill #2, single barrel, and 90 proof…there’s obviously a correlation to Blanton’s here. Perfectly balanced and rich, as declared by the man who knows how great bourbon should taste. Lee, this whiskey is hand selected and bottled to the taste and standards of Elmer T. Named after Master Distiller Emeritus Elmer T.
Lee, this single barrel Kentucky Bourbon is hand-selected and bottled to his standards. There–with that out of the way–let’s see what Buffalo Trace has to say about this single barrel expression on their website : Named after master distiller Emeritus Elmer T. Well…the whiskey, and sharing the whiskey experience with you. The reasoning there is quite simple: I’m only interested in the whiskey. You won’t often see mention of purported secondary market “value” in my write-ups, or see glory shots of unopened bottles on my social media, and you’ll likely never see things of that nature in my grading or tasting notes.
A big part of what I’m out to do is find (TheBourbonFinder, get it? 😁 ) bottles at retail so I can share my experience with you –the reader.
